As a bus motor it will have hydraulic lifters. Was it in a running 914? If not it may still have the bus flywheel. Not interested just trying to get out the right info on the engine.

It was in my 914 when I bought it, bolted to a sideshift, running.(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif). I really think its a 914 2 liter with bus heads.

Heads are really what make a "914 2L" a "914 2L" Bottom end of the 914 and bus motors are pretty much the same, in this case though the case is a bus serial number as well.

There is nothing here that is 914 2L specific, might explain the desire for a 6 as with this setup you were probably about 40HP down from a stock 914 2L.

Not knowing what crank this thing actually has you are probably looking at 1.7 core motor prices (couple hundred bucks at best)

If you don't know for sure what it is, why not call it what we all know it is - a mystery motor? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif)

Since our cars are so old and just the nature of the beasts in general, many of our cars don't even have their original motors. Over the years, many have been rebuilt (some, multiple times), and unless the build documents followed those motors, you could have a 2.xL in a 1.7L bus case and not know it unless you open it up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I had what appeared to be a 1.8L motor that came out of a 914 I acquired a long time ago. It had a rebuild tag riveted over the factory stamped number, so I didn't even know what case it was, let alone what was inside it - so I listed it as a 'Mystery Motor'. Turned out, it was a 1.8L bus motor ...
